[Elecraft] Cold K3

[Richard Fjeld]

Igor,

Minus 10C is about plus 14F, which is well below freezing. I would think 
that was adequate for a good test of output at cold temps.

The experience that I cited about an early rig not operating for several 
minutes was at about minus 30C or colder.
It may have been pre-vfo days, and could have been the crystal which I 
had not considered until Fred mentioned it.

Thank you,

Dick, n0ce
